Don’t you hate when that happens?

“Patient having op on backside breaks wind, causing fire

A Danish man having surgery on his backside broke wind and set his genitals alight.

A surgeon was removing a mole on his backside with an electric knife when the man broke wind, lighting a spark.

His genitals had been washed with surgical spirits and caught fire.

He's suing the hospital for pain and suffering and loss of income.

He says he had to take extra time off work and can't have sex with his wife. The hospital says it was an unfortunate accident.

"When I woke up, my #&%!$ and scrotum were burning like hell," the man told Danish Newspaper BT.

Surgeon Dr Jorn Kristensen said: "No-one considered the possibility the man would break wind during the operation, let alone that it would catch fire. It was an unfortunate accident."

The 30-year-old patient said: "I've had to be booked off work for longer than expected and, besides the pain, I can't have sex with my wife."

The operation which was being carried out at the Kjellerups hospital, was aborted immediately after the accident.

Reports say it's unlikely the doctor will face disciplinary action.

“...uh, Beano anyone?”

“Oh my Gawd, now that would suck.”

“Wow!
Sounds like they had a weenie roast with a side of mountain oysters.”

“How do you say, "When I woke up, my #&%!$ and scrotum were burning like hell," in Danish?


Then, there're the Darwins, of course... They've even become a category on Jeopardy.”

“I guess he had baked beans last night for supper.”

“No way that would suck!!!!!!!

8o”

“This is an OLD urban legend!”

“Papa G.

You sure seem to have definitive answers.”

“Nawwwww, it's just an old story, I didn't invent it. Y'ever listen to John Boy and Billy? Heck, Rayford did this one over a year ago.”

“What happened to fasting before surgery?”

“Freak accident destroys family's home

HAZELTON -- In a bizarre series of events, an overheated bearing on a truck ended up burning down a Hazelton home Sunday.

West End Fire District Chief Randy Sutton said a semi truck traveling west on Interstate 84 lost its right front wheel when the bearing failed and it overheated.

The wheel rolled across the frontage road, hit the curb in front of the house, burst through a wall next to the front door and bounced down the stairs before coming to rest in the basement and igniting the fire, Sutton said.

The driver of the truck, Wesley Rankin, told police he went to search for the wheel and noticed smoke coming from a home at 2864 E. 990 S., according to a police report. Rankin said he assisted the resident, Charisse Stevenson, in running a hose into the house and that's when he spotted his wheel lying in the entryway.

Stevenson and her children were able to escape the home unhurt but it took 18 firefighters about three hours to extinguish the blaze, Sutton said. The burning tire caused extensive smoke damage and the family currently is staying with relatives nearby.”

“Wow! Where's Hazelton? Those names: Rankin, Stevenson and Sutton (a family of truckers) are very common where I live.

I once had a car accident when that happened and I hit the wheel and lost control. Very scary.”

“Idaho, apparently.”

“bizarre!

I had a spare tire fall out from under an S-10 pickup once doing about 45 mph. The chain broke and the tire came down toward the front of the truck. When it caught on the road it turned on end and flipped the back of the truck about 5 feet into the air. Lucky I wasn't doing about 70.

I know others that have had the same thing happen. Wonder if Chevy's been sued for it yet. I think the cable must me inadequate.”

“Rankin? Great, probably a relative of mine on my Dad's side.”

“I was on my motorcycle behind (7 o'clock position) a SUV, when his right front wheel came flying off. I leaned hard left, to get the hell out of the SUV's way (so did all the other vehicles). Luckily the wheel rolled and bounced into the grass...and incredibly, the SUV didn't flip or criss-cross all over the highway. We were going about 45 mph.”

“Once, my son was riding with my Father when the front right wheel came off and sped off down the road ahead of them. They both say that it was a ride they will never forget. Luckily it was very early in the morning and there was no other traffic on that stretch of highway. They didn't tell me about it until several days later. That was probably for the best.

Apparently the tire shop where my Father used to buy his tires was having a problem properly tightening lug nuts that summer. What a fun way to find out!”

“Ow. Did she live?”

“Needed some stitches apparently; otherwise OK.”

“I have to admit, it took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about.

I am a pig.”

“Pretty good wedgie going there also.
I'm with bit, I'm a pig.”

“Maybe I shoulda cropped the photo so your eyes wouldn't be drawn away from what should be the focus of the photo....”

“Hey bit, check it out! There's a diving board in that picture! LOL! It's only compounded knowing they have that gripping sand paper stuff on it. OK, I'm gonna caption this sucker anyhoo...

“The crowd was stunned when the French judge only gave the diver a 4.5 for masochism.””

“Yowch!”

“Yah, my thought process was "Yep that's a heck of a wedgie, but it's not really OH MY FRICKIN" GOD! DID SHE LIVE?"”

“At least I wasn't the only one.”

“There's a diving board in the picture???”

“Don't you hate it when you look out your window and the neighbor just happens to be looking your way at the time?”

“Do you both have the same binoculars?”

“Only when his wife forgot to shut the blinds.”

“LOL! Actually, my neighbor used to own this house. I bought a telescope from a yard sale nearby at the time and they told me what houses to and not to point it at! LOL

(ps - I don't use it for that. Really!)”
